GTS MC Shift vs Aston Martin Vantage Roadster

[D Walker]

I quite fancy the Cayman

Have a word with yourself........!

 

[Needamaser]

I do like it but ideally would have a lighter roof lining and alcantara inserts in the seats!!!!

Some folk are never happy!

Think it is stunning.

I did have an 2005 987 Boxster 3.2 S a couple of years back......they are both great cars. You not a fan?

I quite fancy the Cayman

A very capable car and one to use daily......

Choosy I call it...lol..... I just feel with a full black interior if the roof is dark it squashes the space and makes it a bit claustrophobic, and I am holding out for Dicky to find a Med Blu one!!!!

 

[Swedish Paul]

Take a cayman s with PDK, sports plus and exhaust.

 

[Andyk]

Agree drove a two year old one with that spec.....very nice car indeed.

Not in silver but I can see the alure if you want to squirt from A to B all the time..

 

[Andyk]

They are very good for that Dave...Find a nice twisty road and you will smile.....Even if they are German as most think they are sterile....

Don't blame you Dave...Med Blue is worth the wait...

 

[rockits]

I agree Dave....too much black for me.

Would have to be a manual Cayman for me. Don't fancy the PDK to much like many of these new dual clutch gearboxes. They are too good if that make sense. No involvement. I was all in for them but after the TT S-Tronic I vowed never again....back to a manual for me. Has to be full auto for daily and full manual for fun car.

I had a Boxster S in my youth. Was very impressed with it actually driving wise. I just couldn't do it now though.

 

[rockits]

I'm not sure what youth and old is these days. I'd don't feel old but certainly don't feel young.

Only thing I can't get my head on a Cayman is what it offers that a Boxster doesn't already. A Boxster drives as well, probably has more luggage space is same price like for like if not cheaper. Then is a nice 2 seater soft top as well.

Did I miss something or would it be a Boxster over a Cayman more often than not. I got 2 sets of clubs & bags in the rear boot of mine once.

Thread drift!

GT MCS v AM V is interesting. Boxters...not so much

 

[Andyk]

Ok Ewan...back on track...How about the lovely early Manual V12....Jst under 82k.....Just perfect from all angles.

[safrane]

Now that is njce...but I guess black interior?

 

[Andyk]

Yes Pete, hard to find an early V12 without black....Most are broken up though with silver stitching.

 

[rockits]

Now that is what we are talking about. Great looking car. Wonder if they do an off white or very very light grey interior as that would be a great combo.

 

[D Walker]

Tis indeed very nice, however double my budget, half the seats and a manual!!!
